  1. In the MPT Library, which of the following sources is generally NOT binding authority?

    Answer: A law review article analyzing Franklin law

    Secondary sources like law review articles are persuasive at best; only primary authorities — cases and statutes — can be binding.

  2. When a supervising attorney's task memo says 'be thorough but concise,' candidates should:

    Answer: Address all relevant issues efficiently without padding or repetition

    'Thorough but concise' means covering all necessary points without unnecessary filler — quality over quantity.

  3. In an MPT demand letter to an adverse party, which element is most critical?

    Answer: A clear statement of the client's legal claim and the remedy demanded

    A demand letter must clearly state the client's legal basis and exactly what remedy is sought so the opposing party can respond meaningfully.

  4. When the MPT file contains a client statement that contradicts other documents, you should:

    Answer: Note the inconsistency and assess its impact on the legal analysis

    Effective MPT analysis requires recognizing factual tensions and explaining how they affect the legal outcome, not ignoring them.

  5. The MPT is designed to test practical lawyering skills. Which skill does it specifically EXCLUDE?

    Answer: Independent legal research beyond the provided materials

    The MPT provides all needed law in the Library, so independent research is excluded — candidates are tested on applying provided law, not finding it.

  6. When an MPT task requires drafting a contract clause, the primary goals should be:

    Answer: Drafting language that clearly expresses the agreed terms and protects the client

    Contract drafting requires clear expression of terms that protect the client's interests while remaining enforceable.

  7. The MPT Library contains cases from Franklin (the controlling jurisdiction) and Columbia (another fictional state). How should you treat Columbia cases?

    Answer: Franklin cases are binding; Columbia cases are only persuasive authority

    Only the law of the adjudicating jurisdiction is binding; cases from other jurisdictions are merely persuasive.
